I disagree, competition itself was good for GCC. Stallman's reaction¹ to LLVM was noisy and possibly childish, but it gave the FSF another important goal: not only should it supply a "libre" compiler but it should also be wor

I don't find this idea very compelling. Penrose has a lot of ideas, apparently trying different things when others were invalidated or not promising. He really wants there to be some essential quantum involvement, but his arguments tha

Boo. I'm betting they'll put up a patched version later.

They were locked down very hard with the NDS at the policy level. They didn't lose on content but they did have a lot of problems with piracy. So for Nintendo, experience doesn't suggest they will lose out by being such a closed s

I just confirmed it's on the eShop for $39.99 (via search) in the 'U' region. I haven't bought it, so maybe it would fail if I tried.

This kind of thing in particular seems to be a first for them, seeing as there are no other 'korginc' repos on github. I do hope they publish more there. I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to say about their MIDI implem

To be fair, the expression does contain (edit: ) Euler's Formula, which is basically drawing circles in the complex plane, so people are going to draw circles. I started thinking about sinusoids this way after seeing stuff like this:

I disagree. If nothing else, there is a lot of precedent for executable code in configuration roles. MTAs, build systems, desktop environments, text editors (vim, emacs, joe, others) and probably a good percentage of the uses of tcl. Proble

(Even more OT and not a criticism of you comment.) I wish someone could send your comment back in time so I could have read it when Doom was first released. I think it took longer just to get the game started up back then.

Yes, depending on who is reading it. If you're familiar with JWZ you know what kind of tone this is going to take and what you might get out of reading it. I'm not keen to read everything he writes but this story written by just

This is very similar in style to IBNIZ: http://pelulamu.net/ibniz/ which also does audio. There used to be a JS implementation hosted at http://ibniz.asiekierka.pl/ibniz.html but the domain seems to ha

The immediate difference is the body of what you need to infer against. In the local case it's quite small, and the compiler doesn't have to worry about a lot of what-ifs. Personally I like seeing types and I'm glad people ar
